Yes - Sound Chaser
Actual line is:
"And what touches our souls".
But with Jon Anderson's Lancashire accent it sounds like:
"And what touches arseholes"

The Box Tops - The Letter
'Give me a chicken or an aeroplane' - actual lyric 'Give me a ticket for an aeroplane'
Phil Collins - I Missed Again
'Am I pissed again? Looks like I'm pissed again, uh huuuh' - actual lyric 'Did I miss again?'. In the UK 'pissed' describes being in a state of profound alcoholic relaxation, btw.

Van Der Graff Generator - Killer
Actual lyrics:
On a black day, in a black month, at the black bottom of the sea
Your mother gave birth to you and died immediately
'Cause you can't have two killers...
Misheard lyrics:
'Cause you cut her to kippers

I was always amused by This Mortal Coil's version of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren". Obviously unable to decipher his lyrics, they sang "were you hare when I was fox?" as "where you here when I was fossil?".

No no, I did when I was in my teenage years. I always have had
difficulty hearing lyrics properly. I guess I just hadn't
listened close enough.
All of mine are genuine misheard lyrics I have heard, not just off a website.

Who has misheard all of these lyrics? The brain damaged? "Africa, comfortably numb"???? That doesn't even make sense. I gotta call bulls**t on that one.

Real: Let me sleep on it
Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name
Heard as: Shut the f*** up
Real: Motherf***er

Heard as: Africa comfortably numb
Read: I have become, comfortably numb

My sister was playing System of a Down and a song came on that says 'Spirit goes through all things' and my mum thought it was saying 'spherical droppings' because it rushes the middle words

a good and most certainly intended one is on "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway":
"Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade.
he knows, in a scent, you can bottle all you made".
"in a scent" sounds like "innocent". Caryl Chessman was convicted of being the "Red-light bandit" in 1948 and finally executed in 1960, although there were serious doubts about his guilt. he died in the gas chamber ("in a scent"). read about the Caryl Chessman case at these sources:

For years a friend of mine was completely sure that on Aerosmith's
"Dude Looks Like a Lady", they sing "Dooo-lo-la-la-le-leee". Hahaha, it
was hilarious when we found out he actually thought that was the lyrics.

Eric Clapton's "Cocaine"
heard as---"she don't like, she don't like, she don't like....cocaine"
actually---"she don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie....cocaine"
Also...one I couldn't figure out in Jethro Tull's "The Whistler"
Does he say I've got a pipe and a drum to play or I've got a pipe and I've come to play ?
